Default 600rr rider down

The guy at my office went down on Sat. No details except what hospital he's in, that he's heavily sedated for pain and some woman cut him off on I95. As soon as I get the ok from his wife on visitors, I'm going to the hospital to check on him.

One of the few real friends I have in the office, besides him, asked me to stow my bike for the winter since this makes 2 men down in our office

Man that is awful to hear that another rider went down especially when he wasn't doing anything stupid on it. (I wouldn't feel as bad if he was riding a wheelie at 60mph down the highway well cause that is just not smart). It just makes your realize that no matter what you do you could always be the next victim of going down due to someone else stupidity. I hope he is alright and heels up quick and gets some money not only to repair his ride but just for having to deal with this. Tell him that the riders here on CBRF say get better soon!

Early reports give the impression it's pretty bad. 2 surgeries already with a 3rd tonight or tomorrow.

He's a pretty safe rider too. I've ridden with him and y'all know my thoiughts on that

Not full gear. Armored textile, helmet, gloves, Dickies and work boots. There's rash from the pants and jacket riding up
